There has been a lot of discussion around wellbeing at the moment, the current pandemic has impacted almost everyone to some degree. Wellbeing can be hard to define though because it’s quite subjective, varying from person-to-person and is a much broader concept than simple in-the-moment happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving wellbeing in the workplace is not an easy task. Employers have a responsibility to do as much as they can to promote personal and professional resilience. Not only is a happy workforce more productive, but it reduces absenteeism, and improves morale and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wellbeing program should be considered alongside all of the different benefits employers typically offer, such as a retirement or pension plan, private healthcare, holiday pay, or maternity leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mind.org<\/a> 60 per cent of employees say they\u2019d feel more motivated and more likely to recommend their organisation as a good place to work if their employer took action to support mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart employers know that organisations perform better when staff are healthy, motivated and focused. At The Body Matters, we have been helping companies understand how people are adapting to this new set of circumstances and what they can do to help relieve some of the stresses and strains caused. Below are some words from a recent client:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sessions with Louise have been very useful. She is great in supporting me to navigate through settling in (being a newbie in the company).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has challenged me to deeply self-reflect on my priorities and energy, health and general wellness and Covid worries. She was extremely empathetic and helpful in supporting me through the death of a family member. I have appreciated having her expertise and guidance in the workplace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
